Video footage has emerged of a mother-of-two leading police on a 120mph motorway chase described as the 'worst ever' by a judge which only ended when her uninsured car's engine exploded.

Megan Nolan, 24, from Manchester, was taking friends home after a night out when she attracted a police patrol's attention on the M60 because she was speeding.

To avoid being captured she raced away from the officers and ran multiple red lights, forcing the police to call for back-up.

The dash cam footage, captured at 1.16am shows the police vehicle reach speeds of more than 130mph on the motorway in pursuit of the determined young mother.

She veers across lanes and overtakes traffic before quickly exiting the motorway, leading police through small, dark streets, as flashing police lights splatter light across the buildings and alleyways.

She only stopped when her Volkswagen Scirocco engine blew.

The mother-of-two was jailed for a year after a judge at Manchester Crown Court told her it was the worst he had seen in his 15 year career.
